Pros

Fantastic people to work with, feel like your'e making a difference in your community. Good amount of accruable vacation leave + yearly sick and personal leave. Government benefits.

Cons

High volume workload is an understatement. Workload has you drowning constantly. Expectations to assist everyone who inquires about anything, even if they're not a client. Horrible pay. Have to watch all the attorneys get major raises while you get nothing.

Pros

Everyone there believed in the mission, work felt important and the camaraderie in our little corner felt good

Cons

Some weird tension between atty's and legal staff at times, some of the churn could be disheartening tough to deal with (not really the organization's fault though), felt a little disposable (and I mean, ultimately, that's true!)
